HONOURING OUR JOCKEYS PLATE

ENXUTO (12) looks primed here third up having placed in two runs back, finding the line strongly here last time behind a progressive horse in Dream All Day, only beaten 0.8 lengths. Expecting that form to hold up well and he should be set to peak now. ERSA (6) is a consistent type, getting the job done fresh before just finding one better at BM74 level second up at Caulfield Heath. She should get a nice run just off the pace here and prove hard to beat. RUMINATE (1) is in great form, winning last start at Caulfield Heath over 1500m having been close up in a few runs prior. He'll land in a nice spot from the gate and should be in the finish. LA FRACAS (7) is a lightly raced type who won well fresh at Kilmore before a close up fourth behind the progressive Haraldus. Out to 1600m looks ideal now. ONE LONG DAY (2) is in good form and should be thereabouts.

Dual acceptor. Racing well. Comes off a 30 day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at Caulfield Heath Bm64 December 12 over 1500m defeating Dangerous Liaisons with 60.5kg at $4.40. The run before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Moonee Valley Bm70 on November 22 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Van Roy carrying 59.5kg at $3.80. Draws a nice barrier and will be very competitive again.
Recent form sound. Last start made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Caulfield Heath Bm70 on December 26 over 1500m, 1.75 len behind Ziryab carrying 60kg at $9.50. The run before that won by a head at Moonee Valley Bm64 December 13 over 1523m defeating Impending Shadow carrying 60.5kg at $7. In good form, each way chance.

Previously second-up 4th of 11 at Sale Bm64 on October 11 2023 over 1740m, 1.1 len behind Cadmus with 58kg at $21. Prefer others at this stage.
At the latest run 4th of 8 at Sale Bm70 on December 22 over 1400m, 2 len behind Eugenius with 59.5kg at $7.50. The start before that second last of 11 at Cranbourne Cl3 on November 23 over 1500m, 5 len behind Oh Too Good with 60kg at $21. Not the worst.

Second run from a spell made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Caulfield Heath F&M Bm74 on December 26 over 1500m, 0.8 len behind Keep Your Cool with 55kg at $3.30. Going very well, looks one of the hardest to beat.

Second-up 4th of 10 at Bendigo Bm70 on December 15 over 1400m, 2 len behind Haraldus with 58.5kg at $5.50. Won?t spend a dime in the run from the inside stall. Looks a solid hope.

Second-up. First-up after five months raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 len at Cranbourne Bm64 December 28 over 1400m defeating Flying Ace carrying 59kg at $7.

Last start got back early 6th of 8 at Caulfield Heath F&M Bm74 on December 26 over 1500m, 4 len behind Keep Your Cool carrying 58kg at $6. Before that ran last of 8 at Caulfield Bm74 on November 30 over 1800m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Hiyaam Proud with 53kg at $6.50. Needs to find best.
